[edit] Carbohydrate Name
O-polysaccharide
[edit] Carbohydrate Class
O-polysaccharide [LPS]
[edit] Source Microbe
Brucella abortus W99
[edit] Basic Structure
O-polysaccharide consists of an unbranched linear homopolymer of 10 to 100 α-1,2-linked 4-formamido-4,6-dideoxy-D-mannose (N formylperosamine) residues. The O-polysaccharide is covalently linked to a core oligosaccharide

Mab 4F9
[edit] Antibody type and class
IgG3
[edit] Assay System
ELISA
[edit] Cross-reactivity
This antibody did not cross-react with S-LPSs of S. urbana, Vibrio cholerae and E. coli O:157, but cross-reacted with S-LPS of Y. enterocolitica O:9 along with Brucella A and M dominant strains. Reactivity was more towards A dominant strains
[edit] Proposed epitopes
This Mab was directed against the C/Y epitope and did not consist of α1,2-linked D-Rha4NFo residues. This Mab did not bind purified O-polysaccharide
[edit] Proposed Utility
This Mab helped in the epitope strucure elucidation
